Unlabelled: Periodontitis is a frequent pathologic condition in diabetic patient, and has been associated with chronic complications like nephropathy, cardiovascular disease, peripheral artery disease or death.
Objective: To document the association between severe periodontitis and edentulism with the presence of sensory-motor neuropathy in diabetic patients.
Material And Method: Cross-sectional study in type 2 diabetic patients from the family medicine unit no. 27 of the IMSS in Tijuana, México. Patients were evaluated to identify periodontitis and sensory-motor neuropathy. Information was also obtained about sex, age, duration of diabetes, glycemic control, smoking and alcohol use.
Results: Four hundred and thirty-six patients completed all measurements. In 180 (41.3%) neuropathy was identified, and associated with age (p < 0.001); duration of diabetes (p < 0.001); fasting glucose (p < 0.001); severe periodontitis (OR: 2.7; IC 95%: 1.5-4.8);and with edentulism (OR: 4.4; IC 95%: 2.0-9.4). Logistic regression multivariable analysis kept as significative the association between severe periodontitis and edentulism with neuropathy (adjusted OR: 1.7; IC 95%: 1.1-2.6).
Conclusions: Periodontitis and edentulism are associated with the presence of neuropathy in diabetic patients.

The Prevalence of Alveolar Ridge Defects According to Seibert's Classification: A Cross-Sectional Study.

Background and objective Alveolar ridge defects in partially edentulous patients present significant challenges in prosthodontic treatment planning. Seibert's classification system provides a structured approach to categorizing these defects based on the buccolingual and apico-coronal dimensions of the ridge. Accurate classification is crucial for determining appropriate treatment strategies for implant placement, fixed prosthesis, or tissue augmentation.

Unlabelled: Peri-implantitis (PI) is an inflammatory disease that affects supportive tissues around dental implants, and its progression eventually leads to bone loss and implant failure. However, PI effects may be different based on the presence or absence of adjacent teeth.
Objective: To investigate the differences in bone loss and inflammation between implants placed adjacent to a tooth or edentulous area in a ligature-induced PI model.
Introduction: Methadone Maintenance Therapy (MMT) is commonly used to treat opioid addiction but can cause significant oral health issues, including poor oral hygiene, dental caries, periodontal disease, and bone resorption. These issues can negatively impact on overall quality of life, leading to both aesthetic and functional concerns.
Aim Of The Study: This research compares the oral health of individuals in methadone maintenance treatment (MMT) with those starting MMT.
Retrospective clinical follow-up of implants placed in edentulous jaws after computer-guided surgery and immediate loading, in geriatric patients.

Background: Although there are many works analyzing the clinical behavior of immediate loading of implants inserted by guided surgery, the literature referring specifically to elderly patients is scarce. The aim of this investigation is to present the clinical outcomes of immediate loading of implants inserted by guided surgery in geriatric patients with edentulous maxilla.
Material And Methods: The clinical data of 20 elderly patients with edentulous jaws are analyzed retrospectively.
Inflammation and immune response in the development of periodontal disease: a narrative review.
Front Cell Infect Microbiol
December 2024
Department of Surgery, University of Salamanca; Biomedical Research Institute of Salamanca (IBSAL), Salamanca, Spain.
We present this critical review with the aim of highlighting the current status of periodontal diseases, focusing on the relevance of host modulating agents and immune pathways, in addition to new complementary therapeutic approaches for the treatment of these pathologies. Periodontal diseases are prevalent pathologies worldwide and the main cause of edentulism in the adult population. Their pathogenesis seems to be based on a dysbiosis of the oral microbiota that interacts with the host's immune defenses and is responsible for the inflammatory/immune response, which would be modified by a number of conditions such as individual susceptibility, environmental and sociodemographic factors, certain systemic pathologies and the individual's genetic condition, among others.
